Yarn Wrapped Blossoming Spring Tree Craft

Oh how I love spring time and watching mother nature spring to life! One of my favorites is seeing trees start throwing out pretty pink and white blossoms. To celebrate the beautiful season of spring we made this pretty yarn wrapped blossoming spring tree craft. It is perfect for spring time and the yarn wrapping and crunching tissue paper squares works those important fine motor muscles. Did I mention how pretty it is?!

What initially inspired this pretty spring tree craft was coming across this green tones Super Saver yarn at the store. I don’t know if you can tell from the pictures but there is about four different hues of green in the yarn. It’s absolutely gorgeous so I definitely recommend getting some to add some vibrant hues to your craft.

1. Cut a treetop and trunk shape out of your cardboard. Also, cut a long strand of green yarn and brown yarn.

2. Tape one end of the green yarn onto the back of the treetop and one end of the brown yarn onto the back of the tree trunk. Now wrap the yarn around the pieces in every direction. When you reach the end of the yarn, tape it onto the back of the cardboard.

3. When you are finished wrapping both pieces use a hot glue gun to glue them together to make your tree. (Note: Adult supervision is always required when using a hot glue gun.)

4. Finish your pretty yarn wrapped blossoming spring tree craft by crinkling up tissue paper squares and gluing them onto your tree to make your pretty blossoms. It is so vibrant and pretty!
